Pipes and Drums have a long and honored history at Trinity College. Students formed the first Trinity College Pipes & Drums in 1957 to promote their college and their Celtic heritage in the community. Enthusiastically supported by the College, the band now emphasizes and encourages Trinity students while actively recruiting students and members from the surrounding area. The band wears the historic Macleod of Assynt Tartan with a modern dress sporran and military based outerwear. One of the highlights ot the Trinity year is the annual Trinity Pipe Band Ceilidh, a Celtic party where we've danced to more kinds of pipes than you knew existed and clapped along with an amplified Celtic Rock Band. The band plays an important role in the annual homecoming football game, where members are often invited to grace the tailgates of home and visitors alike. The band highlights the traditional commencement procession every spring. Our professional instructors provide free tuition in both piping and drumming to all interested and committed people.
